[Elecraft] KX1 - S/N 2543 Build essentially complete

[Ken Race]

Last night, I completed Part III and the checkout of my KX1.  Everything
seems to check out as expected (on the money in just about everything).  The
only thing that I haven't done is try internal batteries (seems we didn't
have enough in the house).  Now, I just need to install the antenna tuner
tonight (already assembled).  I have kept at it the past couple of days
because I want to take it on an upcoming trip starting Thursday.  In all, it
was an amazing experience to hear signals so clearly from something that I
actually assembled!

New question: Since I am not not fully proficient yet in CW, can I use the
the KX1 to practice code without transmitting?  It appears I could use the
key test mode, but I wasn't sure if that is right.

Thanks for the help and for listening.
